Short but fairly eventful Sunday night session.

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Sunday was full of non-poker stuff, but I eventually made it to my room at the Showboat. Tomorrow morning starts the Deepstack Borgata Poker Open event with a great structure, and I’m hoping to get to the gym before I get over to the Borg at 11. That being said, the plan was to be [...]

4/8 HOSE

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Just a quick update. I got to the Borg Saturday morning and played an hour of 2/5 waiting for the HOSE game to start. It went fine and I uneventfully won 52 dollars. I played the HOSE for quite a while, and had a wonderful time. I accomplished exactly what I set out to do…to [...]

Deja vu all over again.

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

For some reason, it seems like I keep playing eerily similar pots over and over again. I’m not complaining though. After my nap, I head down to the poker room feeling refreshed. I get seated at 2/5 and buy in for my standard $400 (I think I’m going to start buying in full soon, but [...]

My first live Donkament.

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I wish there were a lot of interesting spots and plenty of fascinating tournament theory questions raised by my play in the $560 nlh BSO event…but there just weren’t. Unfortunately, tournament poker can be fairly boring at times, especially if you’re as card dead as I was. In my 5 hours of tournament play I [...]

3 different casinos, the great “Nutshot2″, and the biggest pot of my life.

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Rolled out of bed around 12:40 (Thanks again to whoever gave me the tip about calling for a late check-out, it’s been clutch) and checked out of my room at the Taj. Head over to “Island Fitness” a gym that I joined in Absecon for the summer and got a good workout in. Feel refreshed [...]

Back on the horse.

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

No poker last weekend, as I had family commitments. I’m back in AC again though, and with the Borgata Summer Open in full swing, I’ll be here for awhile. Tonight though, I head back to my roots. The first casino I ever played in, and a cardroom I still maintain a somewhat irrational affection for…the [...]

Stud8 and more blah.

Monday, June 1st, 2009

As promised, the $4/8 stud hi-lo game did get going at the Borgata Saturday afternoon and it was a blast. We were 8 handed for awhile, and played 4 handed for a decently long time, both of which were great fun (This game is sick fun to play short handed). It was the most fun [...]
